Dogs are family here.

Pet care experience

Our pets, whether our own or our vistors, are treated like royalty. They are the first ones to get meals and kisses before people! But training and doggy manners are also important, to keep everyone happy and on the same page. I have owned rescue dogs over the years. I have experience with both small, medium and larger dog sizes. I understand the changing needs of puppies, mature and senior dogs, as well as special needs. I understand their unique personalities, whether they need their space, or lots of attention, affection and play. I am also sensitive to a dog's cues or body language as it shows me how he or she is adapting to a situtation. I understand that dogs may be stressed at times when an owner leaves. I will work hard to ensure your pet is comfortable and will communicate regularly with their owners to ensure the best possible stay.

Michele is a true dog lover who made Suzy Q felt right at home. Loki is a great sitter and taught Suzy some needed social skills. Suzy misses his company a lot! Thank you for such a great experience! Highly recommended! =)

Michele love animals, she is a very nice, caring person. Animals lovee Michele as soon as they meet her because she is a natural with them and caring. She looked after our dog Max and our cat Darling. They loved Michele and enjoye her company from the minute they met her. I truly recommend Michele to take care of any pet, they will enjoy her company amd care.

Information Michele B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to understand your dog's comfort level for the best possible experience. Please let me know if your dog prefers a quiet space, or lots of play and games. I would like to understand any fears or tendencies so I could provide the best possible experience. I do prefer to crate during the day on weekdays. Trimmed nails please for hardwood floors, thank you!

A typical day

I gear my activities to the energy level of the dog. If your dog is high energy, we will go on frequent walks and maybe an unleashed dog park if it is appropriate. My dog Loki is very active so he will keep everyone playing and moving. For lower energy or senior dogs, I can adapt to fewer, shorter walks if preferred. Please note, I do work full time during the week so your dog may need to be crated during the day. However I am fully home on weekends and every second Monday
